"World War I altered the economic landscape of Europe and inadvertently contributed to World War II. In this program, we see
how the interruption of American economic aid following the 1929 stock market crash caused havoc in the post-war European
economy. The Versailles Treaty, Germany's inability to repay its war debt, and its chronic inflation problems are discussed.
Germany's problem with inflation is related to the rise of fascism, to leaders including Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco, and
to the infamous Munich Agreement"--Container

When the United States declared war on Germany in April 1917, it was woefully unprepared to wage a modern war. Whereas their
European counterparts already had three years of experience in using code and cipher systems in the war, American cryptologists
had to help in the building of a military intelligence unit from scratch. This book relates the personal experiences of one
such character, providing a uniquely American perspective on the Great War. It is a story of spies, coded letters, plots to
blow up ships and munitions plants, secret inks, arms smuggling, treason, and desperate battlefield messages. Yet it all begins
with a college English professor and Chaucer scholar named John Mathews Manly. In 1927, John Manly wrote a series of articles
on his service in the Code and Cipher Section (MI-8) of the U.S. Army’s Military Intelligence Division (MID) during World
War I. Published here for the first time, enhanced with references and annotations for additional context, these articles
form the basis of an exciting exploration of American military intelligence and counter-espionage in 1917-1918. Illustrating
the thoughts of prisoners of war, draftees, German spies, and ordinary Americans with secrets to hide, the messages deciphered
by Manly provide a fascinating insight into the state of mind of a nation at war. John F. Dooley is the William and Marilyn
Ingersoll Professor of Computer Science at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois. Before returning to teaching in 2001, he spent
more than 15 years in the software industry as a developer, designer, and manager working for companies such as Bell Telephone
Laboratories, McDonnell Douglas, IBM, and Motorola. Since 2004 his main research interest has been in the history of American
cryptology, particularly during the inter-war period. His previous publications include the Springer titles A Brief History
of Cryptology and Cryptographic Algorithms and Software Development and Professional Practice
